That’s practically a copy/paste job from Jason’s blog, why not just link and summarize, or add some original commentary? CITRT could link to citrt.org too, for that matter
Hey David, thanks for stopping by! I know you’re a part of the CITRT group, so thanks for joining in here!
What we’ve done is perfectly well-within our ability and we’ve followed “standard citation best practices;” I’ve been blogging since 2001 and for the some of the largest blogs on the planet. What we’re doing is spreading the love and wealth of information, which is ultimately our goal while getting “credit” for it is always secondary (or even farther down the list).
Not to be rude, but our goals are very much aligned, and I’m happy to talk to you guys and build synergy. Just a bit miffed about all the “territorial” stuff that I’m getting from a number of different circles.
We’re in the same boat here, and no one cares who was here first.
Hey John, I’m sorry if my comment was confrontational. I’ll move any further discussion to email when I get a chance in the next day or two, no need to go offtopic in a comment thread.
dude, of course! just trying to clear the air i suppose. sure thing man, love what you guys are doing, seriously! major synergy. i feel it.
Oh, and another thing… congrats on your new role!
And please, we’d welcome your guidance and expertise as we build out this community of information. If you’d like to contribute, we’d love to have you.
and nice use of the Digital Business Card theme too.
Thanks! About to start Day 1
And yes the Business Card theme is very nice, couldn’t resist setting it up for myself, thanks!
enjoy!
very nice – good to see this. We use it here where we work and the guys recommend it beyond any other hypervisor even the free ones or MS’s HyperV.
